No need to talk about the snow condition! It was not only good, but it was exteremly good! I would say that it was the best ever snow condition I've skied in. We were so lucky - super lucky - having huge snow dump just right before we arrived Whistler. Almost 50 inches of snow have fallen, preparing the mountain and welcoming our arrival. It kept snowing, snowing, and snowing ... day and night everyday while we were there! Everyday was a powder day! Every run was a fresh run! The snow falling during these three days was fluffy dry powder - very different from the normal Whistler wet heavy snow.
In this trip, everyday we skied with the strongest chinese ski group - Vancouver Ski Gang (溫哥華滑雪幫), a legendary ski group led by a longtime friend McKay (aka pku) 掌門人 with some old friends (布萊恩, 湯瑪士, 來山德) and many new friends (西門, 德瑞克, 阿清, ... ). The friends that we skied together in this 3-day ski trip included the following certifications: CSIA L4, L3, L2, L1, CASI L2, APSI L2, and PSIA L2. The total number of friends that we skied together exceeded 20 people.
Day-1: 掌門人, 西門, 德瑞克, and some other friends skied with us, covering *all* mogul runs and trees (marked and unmarked) - in-piste and off-piste on the Whistler Mtn, especially those trees and mogul fields right under lifts (e.g., Big Red, Garbanzo, ... etc.) After this whole day of extremely tough skiing, 我感覺兩腿快抽筋了! (It was the second time that I felt that. The first time was also on Whistler Mtn. - 8 years ago when I took the Summit Session training camp there.)
Day-2: 掌門人, 西門, 布萊恩, 湯瑪士, 來山德, 阿清, and many other friends (around 20 in total) skied with us, including CSIA L4 Akiko. The ski routes were similar as that of yesterday. Did it again! OMG! 我昨天兩腿發軟還沒恢復! Then I was able to follow the fast half group only half day. In the afternoon, I switched to ski with the slow half group (, but we still skied moguls and trees - just not those extreme ones though). In the end of the day, 我兩腿更軟了!
Day-3: We skied with APSI Jan, barkely, and 愛莉絲. 這天我們可惜錯過了阿慢大師. We went to Whistler Peak and skied straight down through Whistler Bowl. We then went to Symphony, Sun Bowl, and Saddle. After that, we spent the rest of the day on Blackcomb Mtn. including 7th Heaven and Horstman.
If my skiing off-piste at Jackson Hole with their school technical director (half day) got me the extreme experience for 100 points, this Whistler trip's skiing with 掌門人 McKay (the only best - not one of the best) chinese skier gained me 400 points (2 whole days) of the extreme experience! I can't wait, and I am looking forward to skiing with the legendary Vancouver Ski Gang again next season in Alps.
